Love Is So Sweet - Chapter 42

After the planetarium, Lisa and Jun ate in a restaurant and went back to Lisa’s place. The whole event was filmed by the observer sent by Jun’s father. He then sent the video to Tang Wu, and he also secretly sent it to Tang Wei as well.

…

When Tang Wu watched the whole thing he found out that his son, that he always thought was crude and rude could actually be a smooth talker. He was surprised by how easily he controlled the situation.

‘Still, this all feels staged… Well, there are still two months to go, if this is fake then he would slip up at some point.’

…

At the same time, Tang Wu was watching, Wei and his mother Alisa were also watching the same video.

“Wow, who knew big bro had it in him. Remember this day, this moment, as I pluck out a star and hand it to you. I almost puked on how mushy it was.”

“Jun must really like this girl.” Alisa couldn’t help but smile as she remembered the contents of the video. Her son that used to hate the very idea of trying to impress a girl, was doing everything in his power to dazzle this one girl. The same son who once said, “why is it always the man that tries to make the romantic gestures, why can’t it be the woman who does that?”

“She really must be special…” Alisa whispered as he smiled gently.

…

It wasn’t only the Tang’s that had a video of what happened during the date. Edrea hired someone to take a video of the whole thing. She even told the guy if he was spotted, he should deny having any relation to her.

While watching the video Edrea wanted to throw her ŀȧptop numerous times, but she held it in. It was during the part when they went to the planetarium that she couldn’t take it anymore and slammed her ŀȧptop to the ground.

“What the!? What the hell?!”

She couldn’t’ believe it, Jun of all people was acting like a lovestruck fool. That same Jun who was usually playing around but never doing anything looked to be really serious. When Edrea saw how Jun acted in front of Lisa, she came to a realization, she didn’t know a thing about Jun.

‘No that can’t be! That b*tch is just tricking him somehow!’ Edrea refused to accept that Jun had absolutely no interest in her.

As she was someone who tried her hardest to become a lady Jun likes. When Jun said he liked women with short hair, Edrea shortened her beautiful long black hair and kept it short from thereon.

When Jun said he liked women with a certain hourglass figure, she exercised like mad to get the body Jun wanted. When he said that he didn’t like women that wear big earrings, Edrea threw every last large earing she had, even though she liked most of them.

Yet no matter what she did, Jun never looked at her that way. She did everything so that he would notice her, but she was always simply a childhood friend to him.

“What does that b*tch have that I don’t?!”

…

While Edrea was raging in her bedroom, Lisa was sitting down in her couch fiddling with the necklace Jun gave her. She would unconsciously smile every now and then, she would even giggle for no reason. She was so stunned to receive such a present in such an exaggerated manner that she wasn’t able to concentrate on eating while they were in the restaurant.

It was like she was the main character of the romance tv series she keeps on watching nowadays. She was so distracted right now, that Lisa who would usually write down everything that happened was simply smiling while looking at her necklace.

…

Jun who was back in his penthouse was surprised to see another person was there. A tall man with average looks but with an athletic body was sitting in one of his chairs. The man seeing Jun smiled at him as he stood up from the chair.

“Hey Jun, so how was your date?”

“Seriously Mat, why do you keep on coming to my place without my permission? It’s like you own the place.”

“Way to change the subject, so how was is it man?” Jun and Matthew clasped each other hands and bumped their shoulders with one another. After their greeting Jun started to recount how the date went.

“Wow, who knew that you were such a romantic.” Matthew punched Jun’s shoulder playfully.

“Well, you know, she’s worth the effort.” Jun didn’t like keeping secrets from Matthew but he knew that if he wanted to fool his father he needed to fool everyone else around him.

“So how does she look?” After Matthew asked that question, Jun took out his phone and showed a picture of Lisa. It was a picture he secretly took while Lisa was eating.

“She’s cute right?”

“…Yeah…”

“Why are you answering like that? You don’t think she’s cute?”

“Yeah, she is cute, but I was expecting something more, you know… More… Since you replaced Edrea with her. You know smoking hot Edrea.”

“Well, to me she’s way cuter than Edrea.” Hearing Jun’s answer made Matthew chuckle.

“You really fell hard.” Matthew couldn’t help but smirk at his lovestruck friend.

“Enough about that, so how about we play a little H*lo before we turn into giggling little girls.”

The two best friends then started to play their video game and while playing Matthew kept on teasing Jun, distracting him from the game.
